<title>Description</title>
<para>The <function>sd_bus_reply_method_error()</function> function sends an error reply to the
<parameter>call</parameter> message. The error structure <parameter>e</parameter> specifies the
error to send, and is used as described in
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_message_new_method_error</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
If no reply is expected to <parameter>call</parameter>, this function succeeds without sending a
reply.</para>

<title>Return Value</title>
<para>This function returns a non-negative integer if the error reply was successfully sent or
if <parameter>call</parameter> does not expect a reply. On failure, it returns a negative
errno-style error code.</para>
